<p align="left">Concordia's innovative programs provide an integrated and interdisciplinary environment that combines archaeology, ancient Greek and Latin, history, and literature. Our programs present the experience of classical cinilizations as part of a continuum of human experiences that includes 21st-century cultures and offers a challenging program in which students can explore a critical and exciting period of world history. </p>
<p align="left">In addition to being ready to pursue graduate studies in Classics, Archaeology, or a related field, students who complete a Classics degree will be very well prepared for careers in any profession that requires big ideas, fast information gathering, critical problem solving, dynamic oral and written communication, detailed analysis of data, global horizons, and an experience of different cultures. These include law, business, museum studies, archives and libraies, diplomacy, journalism, and literature. </p>
